HI,
Is there a way that we can configure the ardupilot to follow the terrain topology, example:
I am at 0 altitude, and I have created a waypoint 1 at 30 meters and a second waypoint 2 at 30 meters also, but between them there is a high hill at 50 met
So i bought a minimosd direct from 3dr. First time ive done this. I wired it up to be powered off of the flight controller (pixhawk) and just have video and ground running through the video side like i always have. No video is coming out. Even wh

I want to setup my swash plate servos, but oddly it's not possible to save the MIN/MAX values for the servos 1 to 3. At every restart of the APM the values HSx_MIN and HSx_MAX are set to the defaults (1000 and 2000). Only trim (HSx_TRIM) remains i
Hello,
I want to get GPS position for each image I take with Tetracam ADC Lite camera without having to analyze the log file after each flight. This camera has a dedicated RS-232 to capture the NMEA GPS sentences.
I´m using APM 2.6 with u-blox GPS. I w

Read more…I've posted about this before, but I feel I must reinforce this:
You MUST use a completely independent power supply for your APM or Pixhawk than you use for the Servos. DO NOT use one BEC to supply both the Servos, and the APM/Pixhawk.
On most of my h

The images attached (photomosaic and blown up section) were taken on the weekend. I am flying a Skywalker X7 with a Nikon J2 camera using a Pixhawk and triggering the camera every 30 metres.
The problem I have is that the pictures can be taken
Read more…Hey,
I am diving into the ArduCopter code for my project. I am curious how the Arducopter repository is compiled for specific hardware (whether its APM or PIXHAWK). When I look at the Arducopter repositories, I come across lot of .pde (arduino specif

So I ran a test flight in the back yard before going to the field. Took off, put in alt-h,

I noticed yesterday that in stable hover on a windless day, my motor (RCOUT) outs are not the same. The logs clearly shows that motors 1 and 4 are sort of in sync while 2 alwa

I have been flying my quadcopter with mission planner in Korea and happy about its auto navigation flying.
However, 1 out of 7 or 8 attempts the mission was failed due to lost gps signal in the middle of waypoints.
As a robotics engineer myself,

First, sorry for my english, no use Google Translator. This is my first post here. So... welcome everybody. Since a 3 years my hobby is building a multicopters. Not too much time for this but I done a few quads/hexas. This time is a time for P

Apologies this is probably a dumb question but I have not done this before.
I am trying to setup my skywalker X6 with pixhawk. The pixhawk is connected via sbus to my taranis receiver (X8R). Everything is working as intended in manual mode (

But battery states 0.0V , it flashes LOW RSSI and LOW BATTERY warning. I think it flashes NO GPS FIX as well.

I'm new at this, so forgive me if I'm on the wrong part.
I have a brandnew Pixhawk on my quadcopter (previous with a Cruis aiop v1.1 board)

I was just wondering why there weren't any commercially available flight mode switches like this one posted by a user on here: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/simple-modular-flight-mode-switch-build-it-for-20
or one like jdrones was going to build
I maidened my pixhawk quad today. Immediately i noticed pitch was backwards and fixed it in my transmitter. Now when I go to the radio calibration menu in mission planner it shows up as backwards when i give the sticks input. The quad flies fine i
